I always thought it would have been a great idea for Microsoft Azure to bring Clippy back but this time with AI.

UiPath made waves at their Forward 7 conference, pushing Agentic Automation a move that focuses on the enterprise as a whole rather than just process automation. This positions UiPath’s Autopilot as a flexible system that drives agent creation and even can create specialized agents grounded in current and future automation needs. Looking toward an agent driven future.
